La Brea Tar Pits

One of the world's most significant fossil sites, the tar pits
in central Los Angeles have revealed fossils of plant and animal
life preserved in the pits for tens of thousands of years. The
fossils themselves are on display in the Page Museum on the site,
while replicas of some of the animals, mammoths and sabre-toothed
cats found there have been creatively re-placed in and around the
pits. La Brea Tar Pits and museum also features interactive events,
informative tours, exhibitions and 3D screenings.
